Everyone still has a phone, and it doesn't force me to buy an Apple phone, it just means the iPad is worth less to me. I'm left stuffing around with Skype or some other horrible voip system because Apple don't like the look of a phone icon on an iPad -- even if you're using AirPods!
Apple could probably build an iPhone/iPad with an M1 CPU and allow you to 'do it all' on the single device. I really hope one day my phone can also be my day-to-day computer. That would be so cool!
Lockdown mode looks very usable despite the messaging that it is "designed for the very few individuals." Users can even exclude applications from Lockdown mode. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, some apps and features will function differently, including: Messages - Most message attachment types are blocked, other than certain images, video, and audio. Some features, such as links and link previews, are unavailable. We…
Lockdown mode looks very usable despite the messaging that it is "designed for the very few individuals.” Apple said at the rollout that relatively few people should need this, which is likely correct. The vast majority of people don’t have a state-level attacker going after them. Also it makes sense that the UI/UX is accessible; many of the people who need this aren’t necessarily tech experts. And even if you are a…
catch
{
state-level attack
targeted attack
mass targeted malware/rootkits

If it works some of the time for state-level, it should work almost all of the time for anything below.
iOS 15.7 got a bunch of security updates [1] last month; it’s still a supported operating system. There’s no reason to believe there won’t be future security updates if they’re necessary. Apple released a security update for iOS 12 a couple of months ago [2], an operating system released a little over 4 years ago. I think you’re good.

The fact that there hasn’t been a second security update for iOS 15 doesn’t mean another one isn’t coming which it almost certainly is. unless you're on the latest major version you're pretty much out of luck As I just mentioned, iOS 12, a 4-…

And it certainly did. [1].

For what it's worth, the terminal interface to the Spotlight database is "mdfind". It still doesn't solve GP's "only this directory" problem though. (But your "find" will search in and below the current directory for files that exactly match "somestring".)
>For what it's worth, the terminal interface to the Spotlight database is "mdfind". Yeah I realize that, but find is a stronger tool for the use case because it also allows wildcards to be specified in the name. >your "find" will search in and below Your "mdfind" will also search in and below the current directory. find also has -depth which can be used to tell it to search only this directory. mdfind has -onlyin to…
mdfind searches contents by default, thanks to the Spotlight index.
I’m usually excited about macOS releases but this one is an underwhelming update and don’t see any reason to update any time soon. Stage manager seems like a half measure to introduce better window management in macOS and it doesn’t help that it doesn’t support a keyboard only workflow, from what I can tell from the demos. Coming from i3wm, I found Yabai to be an excellent keyboard-first window manager. I do wish som…
Window management gurus, is there alternatives to mission control? I’d love something that doesn’t waste space and is faster than default.
Cmd-Tab -> switch apps, in most recently used order, keep Cmd held down and repeatedly tap Tab to cycle though the switcher bar
Cmd-` -> switch windows of current app
Cmd-H -> hide current app
Cmd-Opt-H -> hide other apps
Guys, which freaking keyboard-only window management yall looking for so hard? My daily workflow is jumping between 10 apps on different spaces, some of them are full-screen, some are just piled on one desktop, and the CMD+Tab just works perfectly all the time, you just press the CMD+Tab, select the app you need, jump to it, no focus lost, only distraction is the damned sliding animation (which everyone wants to turn…
I agree with you but take it further, what's the point of different spaces? Just put all apps to full screen size (not "fullscreen") on the first screen and alt tab instantly
I like some of my apps full-screen, like nvim in the iterm should be full-screen. The top bar, tab bar and controls is not something i wanna see all the time there, as i'm using only keyboard in my workflow. I'm mostly into zen black screen with 100 columns of text in the center when it comes to editing documents, and nvim + iterm can provide such flawless black zen screen. Also games, books, graphic apps, all look better taking 100% of the height not 80%, as the 20% on top is usually mouse controls for those who don't remember any hotkeys
